Without warning the hound pounced at her face, tearing off the rip of her nose and sending blood pouring into her hands. The Scottish woman, who is expecting a baby boy in coming months, was raced to hospital and has since had to have surgery to reconstruct her nose. She later discovered the dog was known to be "unpredictable and aggressive" - but she was never warned ahead of the visit. Rebecca has now shared the trauma she's endured, and how she's now wary of her own dogs . In July the 24-year-old, who works as an in-home care assistant, showed up at a new patients house. She recalled: "I had only just walked in and introduced myself and said 'Hi, I'm Rebecca'. "One of the dogs had jumped onto the back of the couch so I reached out just to pet it, as I would any other dog. "I was stood at the back of the couch, so I went to touch it and it all just happened really quickly. I'd only been in the house for around two minutes. "It snapped at my face and took away some of my nose." Rebecca said initially her nose "just felt really numb", but assumed it may have been broken. She continued: "The woman's son said 'Did she manage to get you there?' "I moved my hand away and the blood just started pouring. "Even at that point I didn't know it had bitten me, it just felt like it had knocked me. "He [the woman's son] offered to call an ambulance and that's when I realised ho){kind=link}
